About CroisiEurope
Founded by the Schmitter family in Strasbourg in 1976, CroisiEurope operates the largest river fleet in Europe and is one of the few lines purpose-built for the Loire, the Elbe, the Gironde estuary and the Guadalquivir. Its paddle-wheel ships and shallow-draft vessels open up rivers that mainstream operators cannot reach.
Today the line operates a fleet of 22 ships ranging from 80 to 209 guests. The newest vessel in service entered the fleet in 2018, while the oldest still sailing under the brand was launched in 1987.
The brand currently sails 8 distinct waterways. Each river demands a slightly different vessel — Rhine and Danube longships are typically 0 ships at roughly 135 metres in length, while the line's Douro, Loire, Mekong and Nile vessels are purpose-built for shallower waters and tighter lock chambers.
